Value-packed Tele Thinline with '60s Vibe

The Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster Thinline '60s celebrates one of the world's most instantly recognizable guitars, with added modern features. Boasting a chambered nato body with the classic natural finish, single F-hole, and curvy 4-ply pearloid pickguard, the Classic Vibe Telecaster Thinline '60s harkens back to the Teles that launched a musical revolution, while two Fender-designed alnico single-coil pickups serve up legendary Tele twang. Check out this Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster Thinline '60s and tap into iconic Telecaster tone at an affordable price.

The '60s Tele Thinline experience

Certain electric guitars are credited with shaping modern music, and the 1960s Fender Telecaster Thinline is certainly one of the most iconic of them all. With this Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster Thinline '60s, you can have a similar vintage tone and look at a price that any guitarist can afford. From the 3-saddle string-through-body bridge and vintage-style tuners to the bound body and 4-ply pearloid pickguard, this Tele is a smooth performer with unmistakable '60s vibe.

Custom set of alnico single-coil pickups

The discerning guitarists at Sweetwater know that to get a real vintage sound from a guitar, you need to start with great pickups. The Fender-designed alnico single-coil Tele pickups in the Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster Thinline '60s nail those classic tones. You'll love the clear, punchy sounds, which are perfect for playing country, blues, jazz, rock, or pop. Sonically (and visually), these pickups extend the vintage appeal of this guitar.

Vintage appointments with modern playability

The pearloid pickguard, single F-hole, alnico pickups, 3-saddle bridge, and vintage tuning keys cover the vintage side of things. But the 9.5" fingerboard radius gives you a comfortable playing surface that allows for wider string bends than the 7.25" radius of vintage guitars. While being rounded enough for comfortable chording, this radius is perfect for double-stop bends, wide vibrato, and even bends over a whole step. And the modern C-shaped neck feels just right, smoothing the way for fleet-fingered fretting.

Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster Thinline '60s Features:

  • Chambered nato body; gloss polyurethane finish
  • 4-ply pearloid pickguard
  • Maple neck, "C" profile
  • Maple fingerboard, 9.5" radius, dot inlays
  • 25.5" scale length, 21 Narrow Tall frets

Working Mans Guitar

This Squire Thinline is an incredible guitar for the money. The pickups are great stock. The Tuners are vintage style and hold tune well. The neck has rolled fingerboard edges and the fretwork is impeccable! The body is Nato I didn't really care I just needed a light weight guitar and I wanted it Telecaster shaped. The pots and the switch work very well. It cleans up beautifully! This guitar could be all you need to get through a set. You don't have have to worry about it at a gig. I had a Baja telecaster that weighted 10 pounds, and this was 5 pounds 10 oz! Plus it has better fret work than the Baja.

Great guitar! Tone monster!

Tone monster! This guitar has medium tall frets which are great for string bending & vibratos. This makes a great blues guitar. Workmanship was solid. Mine is darker than the site photos. I also modified mine with Duncan pickups, Gibson style 3-way switch and a black pickguard.
Rated 5/5

LOVE IT! GREAT TONES & CLASSIC FEEL!

There really is nothing negative to say about this Thinline Telecaster. The finish is nicer in person than the photos show. It's light and both the bridge and neck pickups give great tones. Neck is typical Fender wonderful. Maybe a little too glossy for those that prefer a satin style neck. The frets are better overall than my made in Mexico Stratocaster. I currently have 4 Classic Vibe Squires and an Affinity Squire and all actually have smoother fret edges than my Strat! I do feel that currently the Classic Vibe series feels like a much better deal overall to the Player series currently. This particular model is a no-brainer!

Amazing guitar with a unique Tele vibe.

I was never a "tele guy". I don't play country and they always sounded too twangy and the neck pickup kind of bored me. But I played this model at a few different stores and every time I couldn't put it down. It was begging to come home with me. Finally I pulled the trigger when Sweetwater had a sale, and the guitar that came looked exactly like the picture. Fit, finish and setup was perfect.

What I love...

The guitar is light, and easy to travel with. The neck pickup is really interesting. It doesn't sound like a Strat. Maybe a little closer to a P-90 in a Les Paul. It sounds SOOOO good through a clean Fender amp. Bridge pickup is beefy and twangy but not like a solid body Tele. It has more honk to it. With some gain, the middle position is all Jimmy Page. Everyone I show it to loves it. It's a gorgeous guitar and it sounds even better.

What I don't like...
The neck pickup is microphonic. So if you play live, you either need to wax pot it or change it. I plan to pot mine because I love the tone. The traditional saddles don't allow for perfect intonation. I changed mine out for some quality compensated brass saddles. Easy and inexpensive fix.
Rated 5/5

Finally got that country tone.

This thing is bad a$$.Been looking for something like this for a while. Plays right out the box. Played it on stage out of the box and it did fine.
Music background: Mason and the Gin Line… tons of little bands here and there.
